Have you ever tried to search for a REAL thread in a REAL pile of threads? It's extremely difficult, yah? So 4chan is only mimicking the real world in that regard. 4chan is a REALITY SIMULATOR.

You have to go to /NewDis/, login, and then you'll see a search box at the bottom left of your screen. Click 'advanced search' for a more thorough search.
I how do I find a post from today or yesterday,
I have been getting harassing phone calls out of the blue,
then I got a call from someone in Alaska telling me
that my cell phone number was on the 4chan site,
requesting people to call my cell phone and harass my
high school son...
Who do I contact for access to postes in hopes of
finding out who did this...If it is true?

Using Google to search for threads on the imageboards is pointless, because by the time they are indexed by the search engine they have most likely been purged. Using >>17's suggestion works fine for the textboards, but type in "dis.4chan.org" instead. Threads on here stay up for a long time, (most likely permanently) and that's a good way to search for older threads.
There was never a search function on the textboards on Futaba, so that's why it was never implemented here. It would be nice to have one when searching for older threads, I agree.

For the text boards I just use google. Example,
site:dis.4chan.org milkribs4k raps the remix
brings up the thread where milkribs did his homosexual rap
The site: part of the search is the important one obviously

Download progscrape.py and edit the first few lines so it says lounge instead of prog. The first time you run it it takes a long time since it downloads every thread, but once that's done you can add an entry to your crontab so it runs automatically, like so: 0 0 * * * /home/Anonymous/bin/loungescrape.py
To search, run sqlite lounge.db and type in some SQL command, ex.: select * from posts where body like "%You're an anus%" order by time;
